I keep getting a suspicious activity screen asking me to check a box verifying that I am not a robot when I am logged in here. Is that something that you put in or has the site been hacked?

Is that for cialis?

Looks like they’ll have it fixed soon.
Thank you for sending over the examples. That definitely confirms it. I will reach out to our implementation team today to fix the issue.

So I got a pm yesterday that someone is also having this issue, I wrote support and got this response.
These annoying ads are coming from a provider that is eluding us right now. The biggest problem is that none of us have been able to replicate it on our end so we can't track it. Do you know how to create a HAR file by chance? We need to see the coding behind the creative in order to track exactly where it's coming from. We already disabled the two providers we originally thought were the culpits, but that hasn't resolved the issue it seems. Any additional help from publisher like you who are actually getting the bad ads would be extremely appreciated.
I could create a Har file, that's not a problem, but the issue is I can't replicate the problem, if anyone would like to help, here's the instructions they've provided:
In Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge
Open an Incognito / InPrivate browser window and go to a URL where you have seen the rogue ad.

Open Developer Tools:

Windows/Linux: Press F12 or Ctrl + Shift + I

Mac: Press Cmd + Option + I

Click on the Network tab at the top of the Developer Tools panel.

Ensure the red record button in the top-left corner of the panel is active (red).

Check the box labeled Preserve log.

Refresh the page or trigger the ad refresh so the 300x600 ad renders in the 728x90 slot.

Once the incorrect ad is visible on screen, right-click anywhere in the Network panel request list and select Save all as HAR with content (or click the down-arrow export icon near the top of the Network panel).

Will you give that a try and see if you're able to capture it?

I know dick about computers, but I have noticed a difference. I was getting pop up ads in the middle of the screen that could not be removed (I primarily use desktop and not cell). I had to shut off and reboot the site to remove. It was a little annoying but nothing crazy. Thanks for taking care of this. Well done!
